motionevent

I have a custom ViewGroup with an override of onInterceptTouchEvent(). It receives ACTION_DOWN but never receives ACTION_MOVE. It is my understanding that, unless it returns "true", it should receive all MotionEvents. The ViewGroup contains two views, an ImageView and a GridLayout. My intercept code is: @Override public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) { final int action = ev.getAction(); switch (action & MotionEvent.ACTION_MASK) { case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: logD ("DDV Intercept DOWN"); break; case MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_DOWN: logD ("DDV Intercept P DOWN"); // logD: shell

Imagine that I have a service that receives coordinates from a bluetooth device, now I want to display a mouse cursor whenever it moves. I managed to send MotionEvents with a toolType = TOOL_TYPE_MOUSE but I don't get the native android mouse cursor displayed on screen. The events I am sending look like these: 05-14 13:38:05.043: I/onTouchEvent(30301): MotionEvent { action=ACTION_DOWN, id[0]=0, x[0]=498.0, y[0]=996.0, toolType[0]=TOOL_TYPE_MOUSE, buttonState=0, metaState=0, flags=0x0, edgeFlags=0x0, pointerCount=1, historySize=0, eventTime=251957430, downTime=251957420, deviceId=1, source

I want to track a finger touch on the screen. So what I did was to start recording the position when MotionEvent triggers ACTION_DOWN , but how do I know when the action is finished, at ACTION_CANCEL , or ACTION_UP ? What's the exact difference between them? MotionEvent: ACTION_UP: A pressed gesture has finished, the motion contains the final release location as well as any intermediate points since the last down or move event. ACTION_CANCEL: The current gesture has been aborted. ACTION_CANCEL occurs when the parent takes possession of the motion, for example when the user has dragged enough

I am working through debugging some touch handling stuff on Android, and am trying to figure out why the MotionEvent sent to my View's onTouchListener contains a cancel action. I have not been able to find any documentation on its cause, and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction for debugging this problem - error codes, source code, or some general knowledge. 0gravity Is this what you are looking for: "ACTION_CANCEL occurs when the parent takes possession of the motion, for example when the user has dragged enough across a list view that it will start scrolling instead of

I created two bitmap on my view using the following class (Simple 2D Graphics in android) and wandering to achieve that bitmap can move independently. I am calling motionevent method for this. Current issue, i do not understand why does only one object is moving right in the following code. e.g. with this code, only "not" bitmap is moved, i would like to move both bitmaps independently of eachother. scenrio: i can use my two fingures, one for each object, to move the bitmaps independently. but i don't know how to achieve this. public class TouchView extends View { private Drawable cross;

I have implemented a window with size 1 and want to catch ACTION_OUTSIDE event. mWindowManager = (WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE); WindowManager.LayoutParams mParams = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(1,1, WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_PHONE, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_WATCH_OUTSIDE_TOUCH, PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT); I get the trigger and I get the ACTION_OUTSIDE event, but when reading event.getRawX() and event.getRawY() they both return 0 every time. I tested the same thing with

I am confused by the two methods in Android. It seems that both methods tell you what kind of event it is, i.e., whether it is a down or up event. When will I use which? public void onTouchEvent(MotionEvent e) Don't quote the documentation please, because I read it, and I don't see any parameter I can supply to either of the methods to get something different. public final int getAction () and public final int getActionMasked() C James Yes, they both return the action (up/down etc.), but getAction() may return the action with pointer information, in which case the events may be a little

I am in a tricky situation, hope you can help me with it. I have few views (TextViews), horizontally placed one after another in a linear layout. When I press on textview1, drag my finger to any other textview and release touch, I want to be able to get the view(textview) on which the finger was lifted. I went over the TouchListener api, it says that every event starts with a ACTION_DOWN event action. Since other textviews won't fire that event, how can I get the reference to the textViews on which I lifted my finger? I tried it even, and the action_up would fire only on the textView that
